€€€€Traditional Cuisine, Meats and Grills
As you enter this restaurant at the heart of the sprawling Dworzysko estate, it very quickly sets out its stall. A fridge filled with prime meats, along with animal heads lining the walls, add to the feel of an old-school hunting lodge, and indeed Polish meats are at the core of the menu. Steaks of various shapes and sizes are a feature, aged in-house and delivering plenty of flavour. The delightful team are genuinely eager to please and do their bit to enhance the experience.
